- crop_rotation 4y agoIt is newish in the sense of business size. It might have been created in 2008 but it has grown only recently to a point where it can be seen as a separate independent business.
- nunez 4y agoIt "started" in 2008 as just an app platform for .NET apps in the cloud called Windows Azure. The move to become a cloud provider happened, I want to say, in 2015-ish. You couldn't even get VMs on Azure for the longest time, and their VM service reached parity with AWS very recently.
